Lol, what a fun
« on: December 27, 2000, 01:56:00 AM »
HI1 all

Just driving my PT-Boat in front of the carrier and watched the take offs. That was a lot fun see many guys stall their planes and splash left and right of my PT-Boat.

Sorry for my sarcastic comments on the chat guys, Im only a stupid Fish-boat captain

carrier take-off's easy,

2-3 notch flaps, apply brakes, full-power & WEP, let brakes go, accelerate straigth, pull gear immediately up when leaving deck, let her drop a tad until ground effect comes in if heavily loaded.

Off you go ... @ 150+ start to retract flaps slowly ...

now landing's harder, I find F4U is fairly easy, this torpedo thingy close to impossible ;-)

Landing TBM was a easy but somehow I always crashed if trying to land a F6F.
Guess I need more practise
